Overview
A Chorus Line examines one day in the lives of seventeen dancers, all vying for a spot in the “chorus line” of a Broadway musical. After the first round of cuts, Zach, the director, asks each dancer to speak about themselves. Discomfort opens into revelation, confession leads to redemption, and within the bright, outwardly homogenous chorus, the audience begins to see each dancer’s individuality. From Cassie, the star who just needs the “music and the mirror and the chance to dance,” to Val, a small-town girl with a brand-new big-town body, to Mike, who took his sister’s place in dance class, saying “I can do that.”
Based on real Broadway dancers’ stories, A Chorus Line is a funny, heartbreaking, and refreshingly honest musical capturing the spirit and tension of a Broadway chorus audition.
This special 50th anniversary production, performed in conjunction with Griffith University’s 50th anniversary celebrations, will be performed by all current Bachelor of Musical Theatre students, and feature 3rd years in principal roles.
